Wheelchair Rugby - Murderball Sports Directory

Disability Directory : Adaptive Sports : Wheelchair Rugby - Murderball

Wheelchair Rugby's original name was murderball. As the sport is played mainly by quadriplegics, it is referred to as quad rugby. All wheelchair rugby players must have a disability that affects all or a portion of both the upper and lower extremities. Wheelchair rugby is a mixed sport, with men and women competing on the same teams.

Wheelchair rugby is played indoors on a hardwood court. The rules include elements of wheelchair basketball, ice hockey, and handball. It is a contact sport and physical contact between wheelchairs is an integral part of the game.
